Pakistani police fired tear gas on Sunday to scatter protesters who breached the outer wall of the U.S. consulate in the southern city of Karachi following news of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Reuters reported.
Pro-Iranian protesters also gathered outside the Green Zone in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, where the U.S. Embassy is located.
In Karachi, protesters had been pushed back from the consulate, a spokesman for the local government said. A Reuters reporter heard sounds of gunfire and video footage from the scenes showed burning vehicles outside the consulate's main gate, according to Reuters.
